  for a while. Air con does not work but switch in or out makes no difference. What is the device under the rear of the N/S wing? this appears to be the source of the noise. Haynes doesn't help. The electrics are shot on this car as an "Auto electrician" attacked the car to stop the battery being flattened. I

• Mitsubishi FTO - abs as standard? 29 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Do FTO's have abs as standard? What about air-con? Neither feature seems to get mentioned in adverts on Auto trader. If they don't have it, do they not go all over the place?
